Chapter 1: Where was Colin right and wrong in his predictions?

0.031 - 35.151 Colin Cowherd

This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition for The Office or something? I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to me, right? Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akilah Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.

50.919 - 65.037 Akilah Hughes

As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority Black city, in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslaved people.

Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life?

74.299 - 79.987 Unknown

That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are?

81.088 - 82.81 Colin Cowherd

I felt such desperation.

82.83 - 85.073 Unknown

I felt it was what I had to do.

549.321 - 577.795 Colin Cowherd

We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas.

0

612.113 - 622.227 Colin Cowherd

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Yeah, a pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special.

622.627 - 626.112 Unknown

So how did we actually come up with the name Hey Jonas, guys?

626.132 - 647.231 Colin Cowherd

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it, and... Well, we were thinking of originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.

647.552 - 662.614 Colin Cowherd

And then I wrote down on my little notepad, hey, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

663.353 - 684.508 CJ Toledano

What's up fam, it's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luka and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luka and Austin Reed, I gotta manipulate the game.

Chapter 3: What insights did Les Snead share about the Myles Garrett trade?

1817.249 - 1839.127 Colin Cowherd

just because we do something or make a major move like this on June 1, it guarantees nothing in the future. So Sean McVay keeps very close to certain players. Andrew Whitworth has been unbelievably valuable to you guys. You bounce stuff off him with young offensive linemen. Andrew's just a great guy. I know that Sean and Aaron Donald have a very strong relationship.

0

1839.187 - 1862.034 Colin Cowherd

I saw that story come out yesterday, and you see a million stories, and I'm like, I don't know. He retired early. I could see it happening. I go to his Instagram page. He's not on the beach drinking cocktails. He's working out every day. I'm like, yeah, Calais Campbell's 39. He's still good. When you heard that story with Aaron Donald, come on, be honest. First thought was?

0

1862.174 - 1887.448 Colin Cowherd

I don't think Aaron's truly been tempted. to come back since he's retired. I do think, right, let's call it the excitement around the Miles Garrett trade. I'm thinking he's tempted. He's really tempted for the first time. Now, whether that temptation comes to fruition or not, time will tell. That's just how Aaron is. I think, hey, if Aaron were to come back, I'm like you.

0

1887.849 - 1913.163 Colin Cowherd

If Kalis can do it at 39, Aaron can do it at 35 in some form or fashion. I know this about Aaron Donald at his core. He wouldn't come back unless he thought, you know what, I could really, really, really – uh, help the Rams. That's just how he's wired. That's his, that's, that's, that's in his DNA. Yeah. Finally, he's never missed a workout. No, no, that's that guy. He is 101.

0

1913.423 - 1934.021 Colin Cowherd

I mean, there's been four or five NFL defensive players in my life. Reggie White, Lawrence Taylor, Miles Garrett, Aaron Donald. It's a pretty short list. They're just different, and that cat is just different. I got to ask you. I got to ask you about Ty Simpson here. Have you gotten a little look, a little taste? You got anything for me on Ty Simpson? Because I defended that move.

1934.041 - 1957.973 Colin Cowherd

I totally understand it. Watched a ton of him in college. Have you seen it? What are you seeing? We're early. We're just getting on the field, just doing 11-on-11. Remember, this is 11-on-11 without pads. You can appreciate what Ty's going through in terms of coming in as a rookie and has to learn, right, an offense. Sean and his offense with Matthew at the helm, I mean...

1958.358 - 1984.062 Colin Cowherd

This isn't called an undergraduate level outfit here. I mean, this is at the PhD level. So you can always see the rookies have to go through just to be able to ingest the offense, digest it, and then process it on the field. But as we've gone into some 7-on-7, some 11-on-11, right, you've seen some of those Ty Simpson moments, some of the passes that he made. I call it the anticipation. Yeah.

1984.042 - 2007.536 Colin Cowherd

That's always really, really cool to see from a rookie because this is not an easy ecosystem for a rookie to come in and let's call earn equity and trust. Les, it's great seeing you as always. Congrats on the moves. Cross your fingers on Aaron Donald and say hi to Sean for me. I will do that. Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays at noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific. And so here we go.

2007.576 - 2036.378 Colin Cowherd

Here's my top 10 players in the NBA Finals. Number one. Okay, it's Wemby. He's got 35 more rebounds and 28 more blocked shots than any other player in the postseason. Spurs are 39 and six since February one when he just plays 15 minutes. He changes the calculus on the floor. like nobody else. I don't think his offensive game is quite refined yet or consistent, but he also helps other players.

Chapter 4: What updates did Andy Reid provide on Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes?

2095.884 - 2122.015 Colin Cowherd

He is so valuable. They're 27 and five when he gets 20 points. So they just don't lose much. And again, against San Antonio, his dexterity, his length, his physicality will be huge. Number four, Stephon Castle. Leads all players in assists this season, plus he's second in points for the Spurs. Now, I used to think he was a real streaky shooter. I don't think that as much now.

0

2122.495 - 2145.302 Colin Cowherd

He is hyper-aggressive. He was at UConn. He is now for the Spurs on both ends of the floor, sometimes to a fault offensively. But, you know, he's going to rebound. He's going to defend. He's going to be physical. He's just, again, the word dexterity. He just does so many things well. I've got him at four. Carl Anthony Towns, one of the great jump shooting bigs of all time.

0

2145.742 - 2168.417 Colin Cowherd

He hopefully for the Knicks can pull Wemby away from the iron. Again, now he's an assist guy. The rigidity of Tibbs You know, you kind of knew what you had with Cat. Mike Brown and his staff in that Atlanta series said, no, I'm going to do a little point center here. Take the ball away from Brunson. Don't make us as Brunson-centric. Brilliant. And they haven't lost since. I have Cat at five.

0

2168.838 - 2193.979 Colin Cowherd

Number six would be Dylan Harper, only non-starter in my top ten. I think the kid's going to be amazing. I think he's unbelievable. I can't believe he's this good this early. I mean, youngest player, 20 years old all time to have a 2010 game in a conference final. Quick. He can shoot. A lot of young players struggle with consistency shooting. Averaging 13 points a game.

0

2194.58 - 2221.637 Colin Cowherd

Shooting 52.5% in the playoffs. Dylan Harper at six. Mikael Bridges, who logs a lot of minutes. 19 a game and 63% shooting over this last nine games. I mean, they gave up a lot to get him. I didn't think he had the greatest year. But again, he's a wing defender at an elite level. Not a lot, I mean... Mikael Bridges is largely what the league's transitioned to over the last decade.

2222.037 - 2242.192 Colin Cowherd

You know, a three and D guy. So Mikael Bridges at number seven. De'Aaron Fox at eight. He's not totally healthy. He's been a clutch player of the year in the NBA. One year he led the NBA in steals. He's a two-time all-star. I thought he was huge. In a couple of games against Oklahoma City, he scored 15 points and all of them mattered.

2242.713 - 2265.908 Colin Cowherd

So again, on a very young team, his intelligence and maturity and ability, he's got a little bit of a Brunson where he'll step up in big spots and take that shot. Won't always make it, but he'll take it. He's at eight. Josh Hart, another guy that logs big minutes, does a lot of little things, deflections, hustle plays, Nova guy, smart, tough guy.

2266.394 - 2287.972 Colin Cowherd

For the record, on this team, you get some open looks, and he's been hitting them. So I always thought of him more of a defensive guy, but if you leave him open, he will burn you. Unless you're a Knicks fan and watch every night, you don't understand his value to the team. Logs a lot of minutes. Josh Hart at nine. And Devin Vassell at number 10.

2288.633 - 2312.179 Colin Cowherd

Another one of these great young players for the Spurs. He often guards the best opponent, like he guarded Ant in that series against Minnesota. Three-pointers made. Again, can they have so... It's almost weird how young the Spurs are. And all of their young players feel like you trust them to take a big shot in a big moment. That is so counter...

Chapter 5: How does load management affect the NBA?

2409.233 - 2432.849 Colin Cowherd

And I think the older you get, the more you appreciate that, that you have the opportunity to sit here in the National Football League. Again, the highest level there is of football and get to coach these guys that are phenomenal guys. And they all stay the same age, Colin. We get older. So they're full energy. They bring out the best in you every day.

0

2432.909 - 2464.735 Colin Cowherd

They challenge you and keep you as young as you can be at 68. Now, you got a couple of guys out there. They got real rich. Like Kelsey now, he's rich. And he could retire. And you guys had some discussion at some point. You sat down, and he's obviously done well for himself. Why do you think he came back? Yeah, well, it's obviously not for the money. That's not what it's all about.

0

2464.775 - 2489.367 Colin Cowherd

He's done so well for himself. That way I'm proud of him for that. That's not an easy thing to do in this league. And not only as a player, but also having a profession that he can bank on once he gets done. And arguably is marrying the most famous woman in the world. And a sweetheart at that. So he's sitting here and...

0

2489.347 - 2512.618 Colin Cowherd

he wants to play that's what he wants to do and he didn't want to end on what we did last year that's not where he wanted to finish his career so he was all in right from the get-go uh after the season ended and um and i i appreciate that with him that how much he loves to play the game. There's one thing though, he's a great player, but the heart, man, is unbelievable.

0

2512.918 - 2537.388 Colin Cowherd

He just, this guy wants to play every snap, every practice snap, every game snap, competitive all get out. So I appreciate that. So Mahomes got an ACL. I saw a story on Daniel Jones the other day. All these young athletes, the doctors are so good, the medical advances. I mean, Daniel Jones has taken snaps two days ago, and I'm like, I thought he was going to miss September.

2537.769 - 2558.525 Colin Cowherd

Where are we with Mahomes? And do you check on Patrick every week, or do you just kind of let the medical staff do it? I mean, how often do you check up on that? Yeah, listen, there's a balance there. I mean, I trust our medical staff. First of all, I trust Dr. Cooper did the surgery and we listened to him. I'm not going to go against what the experts say on that.

2559.646 - 2587.047 Colin Cowherd

Most of all, though, I'm with Patrick every day. He's practicing. And then we kind of gauge what we're putting him in on and what we're not and make sure that He gets work, but at the same time, he's not getting hit or somebody falling on him until it continues to heal. There's a time process there. Whatever that time is, everybody does it different. Everybody's different on this thing.

2587.387 - 2600.505 Colin Cowherd

Different guys heal at different rates. Then the rehab part of it, he's been relentless with that. Colin, it's crazy how much time he has spent on this thing and

2600.485 - 2623.869 Colin Cowherd

um and and so it's he's doing it the right way can i guarantee that he's going to be playing on the first game no i can't guarantee that i'm good let's let's take it day by day and see what happens and if he can go and he can get himself out of arm's way that's that's great if he can't then he's not going to play and that's why we picked up justin so he's here and We'll play him.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the NBA's new anti-tanking measure?

2747.998 - 2773.04 Colin Cowherd

You know, Andy, now you and I are closer. I'm in Chicago. And I don't know if you know this. And all that L.A. frou-frou stuff. Chicago is an incredible food city. I eat steak twice a week now. How about that? Oh, my God. It's just these Midwest people. They eat the right way. They don't mess around. I was in Green Bay for seven years, and we used to go down to Chicago all the time. Great city.

0

2773.38 - 2796.791 Colin Cowherd

It's a great city. It is. All right, finally, you're in this world. You've got Kenneth Walker. Now, he is a bruiser. He is, I mean, at Michigan State, it's Seattle. He is yards after contact. And I said this the other day, you guys picked up a running back, actually a kid out of Nebraska I think is a really interesting player, and I think he'll get in your rotation.

0

2796.832 - 2813.08 Colin Cowherd

But Kenneth Walker, how do you – he's a big carry guy, Andy. I mean, you can rely on him for 240 carries a year. How do you monitor that? Because he'll run through people. He's not going to avoid contact. Are you a little worried about, hey, we need this guy now?

0

2813.971 - 2838.173 Colin Cowherd

regular season postseason he is a bruising head first runner how do you going to use him yeah listen i love his attitude you know we're in the middle of these otas so even though we're in shorts and running around but he's 100 miles an hour every play and every uh it looks like he really loves the game and he is a bruiser man he's on he's all muscle and uh

0

2838.153 - 2865.612 Colin Cowherd

he he's gonna get you know he'll get a few carries i'd say um during the season so it'll be good for him uh to keep keep growing as a football player and that's what he wants to do um and you saw in the playoffs what he can do have you saw where he can be he can be a third he can be a third down back he can do goal line short yards the whole works there so andy reed good way to end our show emmett johnson's out running back out of nebraska coach is always great to see him

2866.739 - 2889.431 Colin Cowherd

All right. Appreciate you. All right. And I'm glad he called out J-Mac for his tomfoolery. That was a very welcome, refreshing shot. My phone will not stop buzzing right now. People are freaking out, Colin. That was wild. Number one hits, millions of records sold, awards, sold out tours. You think the Jonas Brothers are satisfied? Nope. It's podcast time.

2889.491 - 2907.355 Colin Cowherd

We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Hey Jonas is available now and their first guest is a big one, Paul Rudd. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition for The Office or something? I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to me, right?

2907.415 - 2913.368 Colin Cowherd

Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
